Kinds of compensation

Among the most important legal aspects to understand about personal injury law is the kinds of compensation available to you. There are typically two kinds of recoverable damages in personal injury cases, economic and non-economic.

Economic vs. Non-Economic Damages

Economic damages are those that can be reduced to a tangible monetary value. For example, medical bills, pharmacy bills, loss of income (both present and future), and lost earning capacity are all examples of economic damages. By contrast, non-economic damages refer to those that cannot be reduced to a monetary value. Among other things, this includes your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of a loved one (legally referred to as “loss of consortium”).

The distinction between economic and non-economic damages is theoretically simple but can sometimes be blurred in application. This is so because a single injury can have both a monetary and non-monetary impact on your life. For example, severe injuries from a car accident may cost a specific amount of money to treat, but their long-term physical and psychological impact may not be reduced to a discrete dollar value.

Two lessons can be drawn from this. Firstly, you should save all of your medical bills associated with the accident. Save bills from any doctors, therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and any other providers helping you recover from your accident-related injuries. These records will serve as evidence to prove your economic damages.

Secondly, it is equally important that you secure competent and compassionate legal representation that can fully and effectively explain how your pain and suffering go beyond your economic damages. Our experienced injury attorneys in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, can help you tell your story from your own perspective to a judge and jury.

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are a specialized form of damage characterized by its distinct rationale. Economic damages focus on “making the plaintiff whole” by restoring them to their monetary condition prior to the accident. Non-economic damages also attempt to compensate the plaintiff, but they focus on intangible harms.

By contrast, punitive damages do not focus on the cost or harm to the plaintiff but instead focus on the misbehavior of the defendant. Punitive damages are awarded to the plaintiff as a way of punishing the defendant. Courts are generally reluctant to award punitive damage, but this form may be available in cases of extreme recklessness or wrongdoing.

Forms of Liability

A second fundamental aspect of personal injury law is the concept of liability. It is helpful to become acquainted with the basic framework of two kinds of liability, but it would be most beneficial to consult with an attorney to understand how their more specific requirements apply to your case. Our attorneys in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, can help.

Negligence

Negligence is the most common cause of action in a personal injury case; this cause of action is based on the idea that individuals owe each other a general duty to exercise “reasonable care” in their actions to ensure that we do not cause each other harm. For example, we each have a duty to exercise caution when driving on a highway. Showing negligence requires proving:

1. A legal duty was owed by the defendant to the plaintiff.

2.The defendant breached that duty.

3.The plaintiff suffered an injury.

4.The plaintiff’s injury was caused by the defendant’s breach.

Strict Liability

Strict liability is less common than negligence and is normally established by statutes for particularly dangerous behavior. It is distinct from negligence in that a defendant may be deemed liable for injuries absent proof that they misbehaved by acting intentionally, recklessly, or carelessly. For example, a statute may assign strict liability for injuries caused by specifically defined activities deemed to be “inherently dangerous” (such as the possession of certain animals or storing certain toxic chemicals).

Strict liability is common in the realm of products liability. In these cases, the defendant (perhaps a vendor or manufacturer) can be held liable for selling defective products. Liability for injuries caused by the defective product applies in these cases even though the defendant did not act intentionally, recklessly, or carelessly.

statute of limitations

A third element to be aware of in personal injury cases is statutes of limitations. The concept is simple. A statute of limitations simply sets the maximum amount of time that may elapse after the accident before a plaintiff may file their case.

These limitations vary based on jurisdiction and on the type of accident. This is one reason, among others, that you should consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident. If the time prescribed by the limitation elapses, you may not be able to bring your case.

I will recommend the Zinda Law Group, because they easily to respond about your concerns and clarification in terms of handling your case, especially to Atty. Matt and Ms. Terri that incharge of my case. Thank you so much...Zindalaw Group

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ben Abbas and Neil Solomon. Since my fiance was hit by an 18-wheeler nearly lost his life and now struggles with persistent pain and has to use a cane on top of a litany of other health issues as a result of the accident, Ben and Neil fought hard on my fiance's case because it was a very complex case involving multiple parties. But not only did they fight hard for us on my fiance's case, when the man of the house and the breadwinner is unable to even walk without a walker for a little over a year and has had to spend two years fighting for disability, and as I've been supporting my fiance because that's what you do when you're loyal to who you love but it's difficult when you lose the breadwinner and they're not able to work, Ben and Neil helped us navigate the legal loan process and they have been instrumental in keeping us afloat. They always respond quickly often within a few minutes and get the paperwork processed almost every single time in the same day. We would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. We are so grateful for them and everything they have done for us. There are something like real life superheroes and if you're looking for a law firm from any kind of injury or accident, we strongly recommend them and Zinda Law Group. Because I can almost guarantee nobody will work harder for you than they will

What should I do if I suffered a personal injury in Highlands Ranch?

To take full advantage of your rights, follow all of the following steps as best you can. If you need help with any of them, remember that one of our dedicated Zinda Law Group injury lawyers is only a phone call away to offer guidance that will help you recover as much as is possible for your kind of case.

Seek Medical Attention

It goes without saying that your personal well-being is the first and foremost consideration when you have suffered a personal injury. Whether your injuries are mild or severe, you should seek medical attention. In addition to treating your injuries, this stage is also significant because it allows a medical professional to document your injuries; this documentation will serve as essential evidence in your case.

Report the Accident

After your injuries have been evaluated, you should report the accident; in a car accident, for example, a police report should be filed. Similarly, you should notify your supervisor of any accidents at your workplace; these reports serve as a second source of evidence to substantiate your case. Depending on the accident and severity of your injuries, you may make the report at the scene or after you have received treatment.

Document Your Damage

You should also collect evidence of your own. Notes from the day of the accident can help ensure that nothing is overlooked or forgotten. Similarly, photographs, videos, and audio recordings can also be extremely valuable sources of evidence. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Hire an Attorney

Finally, if you have been injured in an accident, you may likely need to file a lawsuit to recover adequate compensation. Even if your case does not ultimately go to trial, an experienced attorney can help you negotiate a fair and satisfactory settlement.

In particular, exercise caution when speaking to insurance companies. Accident victims often turn to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney. Unfortunately, insurance companies—even your own—are not neutral third parties, and their settlement offers are not always calculated based on the actuality of the accident but instead on what the companies believe might result from trial.

Having one of our Highlands Ranch, Colorado, injury attorneys evaluate your case first can ensure that you know your full rights and are being treated fairly. Remember, anything you say to an insurance company can be used against you in litigation. Therefore, never sign forms or waivers provided by an insurance company and never admit fault before consulting with an attorney.
